In this article, we will introduce you to the top 5 organic green teas you need to try in 2024.

Sencha Green Tea

Sencha is one of the most popular and widely consumed green teas in Japan. Made from the first flush of tea leaves, Sencha has a fresh, grassy, and slightly sweet flavor. The tea leaves are steamed immediately after harvest to prevent oxidation, which helps to preserve the green color and natural flavors.

Organic Sencha green tea is made from tea leaves grown without the use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides. This means that the tea leaves are grown in a more sustainable and environmentally friendly way, which not only benefits the environment but also the tea drinker. Organic Sencha green tea is rich in antioxidants, which can help to boost the immune system, improve heart health, and reduce the risk of certain types of cancer.

Matcha Green Tea

Matcha is a type of green tea that originated in Japan and is made from finely ground tea leaves. Unlike other green teas, matcha is made by grinding the entire tea leaf into a fine powder, which is then whisked into hot water. This means that when you drink matcha, you are consuming the entire tea leaf, which results in a higher concentration of antioxidants and other beneficial compounds.

Organic matcha green tea is made from tea leaves grown without the use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides. Organic matcha is rich in antioxidants, amino acids, and chlorophyll, which can help to boost energy levels, improve focus and concentration, and support overall health and well-being.

Longjing, also known as Dragon Well, is a type of green tea that originated in China and is known for its delicate, sweet, and slightly nutty flavor. Longjing tea leaves are pan-fried, which helps to preserve their natural flavors and aromas.

Organic Houjicha green tea is made from tea leaves grown without the use of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides. Organic Houjicha tea is rich in antioxidants, which can help to boost the immune system, improve heart health, and reduce the risk of certain types of cancer.

Gunpowder Green Tea

By choosing organic green tea, you are not only making a healthier choice for yourself but also for the environment.

i wanna hear your recommendations!

a list with some stuff i like + a request for you to share yours :)

as a godless queer who spawned on earth randomly one time, my only holiday-season tradition is charity + passionately enjoying things. in lieu of passing my followers & mutuals $100 cash, have a random variety of things you might like to try - i know we're an international bunch so your mileage may vary on what you can access. in the spirit of giving i am hoping for some recs 🎁♥

disclaimer these are just things i like i am not paid. would be great. but.

yo ho ho if you read comics & manga but always found it to be a pain in the ass to source online, here's the aggregator app of your dreams: tachiyomiJ2K. real. not clickbait. android only tho. the extensions mangacute, mangadex, allanime, and mangareader, are good places to start. as a creator, i'm always iffy about recommending this kind of thing because i'd much prefer you went out and brought the things you're reading, however i'm not under any illusions about which era we're in, media-wise and economy-wise

gemma! - webcomic what if corvo was a woman and young emily was a dragon and they went on adventures in a fun fantasy/adventure way that is Extremely Gender. pictured: gender. god i want to be her > is this the greatest webcomic of all time? no. is it that sweet spot between 'mindless fun' and 'good'? yes. you get me

laksa noodles the more intl friends i have the more i realise that laksa isn't common everywhere. don't let that stop you from trying it. ultimate comfort food. hearty noodly soupy goodness. worth seeking out fr

ways of seeing - mini-documentary so profoundly changed the way i think that i had been wanting to revisit it and so was delighted to find its all on youtube. if you're an artist or want to improve your ability to critically think about what you're seeing in media, this is a must-see. link or embedded>

FUCKING GOOD AND CHEAP GREEN TEA price comment won't apply to everyone this site offers great prices for high quality tea direct from the farm. been buying from here for years and its always amazing - i love the houjicha/roast green tea, and if you like green tea but always wish it was stronger without sacrificing taste or becoming bitter, i recommend genmaicha matcha-iri, which uses matcha to intensify the flavour. yum

incense body powder being a perfume nerd who is prone to migraines sucks. if you like spices and good incense - not the $2 kind that you use to hide cigs from your parents but rather the kind that smells like wandering into a forest temple - you'll love incense body powder. it lasts well and i'd most compare it to a softer, more gourmand comme des garçons Incense series 3 kyoto. shoyeido is the easiest to source as far as i can tell, but other brands make it too. USD$11 - cheaper than even cheap perfumes tbh - the bag will last you years. if you try this please tell me i'd love to know what you think!

anyway!! i wanna hear your recs if you have any! can be any type of thing that has recently improved your mood or changed your life or you think someone else might like?

anyone reading can go for it, consider this a carte blanche for recommendations. gonna tag a few people - you don't have to of course thank you love you <;3 @lapinneok @dangerousdan-dan @arosebyothernames @headcrabrave @corvidad @neznoodles @retired-crow @corpseprince @i-really-hate-creating-usernames @geminison @fakeshibe @skemford @loveofdetail + please feel welcome if not tagged! edit OH @nekon-ron i tried to tag your old URL. ha

#sorry for the tags i hope its okay #but yeah please do share with me if you've tried anything lately that has you excited!

Please excuse me while I try to go through my summer backlog (but let's be honest, it was still summer weather today at 29°C). This year has been my year of sacrilegious non-blouse lolita in summer, so enjoy another one with this iconic Mary Magdalene dress.

Rengoku Kyojuro x Reader

Word Count: ~1,000

CW: alcoholism, traumatic references

Song Inspo: Underneath by Adam Lambert

Emergency Request Fulfilled: could you maybe do a Kyojuro x reader where they meet his father for the first time but also suffers from these triggers? If x readers were real it would be the hardest challenge for me. I figure it would be a tough situation since he loves his dad, but he also has to figure out a way to help them either leave to a safe place and explain later or find a way to help them until they are alone. I just want his comfort knowing he was in a similar situation.

~faqs~

You know about Shinjuro. Of course you know. Kyojuro’s always been upfront, wearing his heart on his sleeve, and disclosing the pain—trauma—anchored into his family’s psyche was no different.

“I’d love to meet your father and brother,” you’d nervously announced after a couple months of dating, fingers anxiously hugging your warm mug, eyes fixated on your glistening pool of houjicha.

He’d reached across the kitchen table, gentle heat wrapping reassuringly around your wrist, voice loud and certain, “I am not ashamed of you. Not in the slightest. I apologize if my delay in introducing you created feelings of doubt or insecurity. I am simply… concerned. Senjuro would be well receiving of you. But Shinjuro… I… I am embarrassed to admit that you might not be well receiving of him. And as Senjuro is not yet eighteen, it would be difficult to avoid Shinjuro.”

You’d nodded slowly, glancing upward, breath hitching at the fear dwelling beneath the adoration in his gaze — not quite grasping his implication.

“Your mother,” he’d paused, hesitant to approach such a heavy truth, “Shinjuro is… similar,” exhaling lowly as your eyes narrowed, “He is an alcoholic, and I do not wish to expose you to anything uncomfortable or unsafe.”

Swallowing wordlessly, you’d closed your eyes Alcoholic, thickness clogging your throat as an angry whimper clung to the roof of your mouth.

Kyojuro knew about your mother. Of course he knew. Like knowing someone’s favorite color, knowing her impact on your personality, habits—on your being—came up sooner rather than later. She was practically impossible to omit from your existence; just as alcohol appeared in most social situations; just as your averse reaction (to alcohol) never changed.

“I am more than happy to arrange a lunch or dinner with them,” he’d reaffirmed, “But I am uneasy at the potential of hurting you.”

“And what about you?” you’d muttered harshly, blinking quickly to restrain the teardrops threatening to slide off your eyelashes, “What about the potential of hurting yourself?”

He’d shrugged, faint smile curving his lips, “Senjuro is my brother. Shinjuro is my father. We are family.”

“And you’re proud of them?” you’d snapped, jolting as unfairness clawed through your limbs, tea sloshing violently, “You protect Senjuro. Who protects you?”

Rubbing a small circle into the base of your thumb, he’d declared with a steady openness, “I do not need protecting. I get to take care of Senjuro, look after my father. I get to love you. For me, that is plenty.”

Bullshit you’d hissed inwardly, chest heaving with a familiar melancholy—a too sweet hopelessness—your teardrops inevitably escaping, shiny and mocking as they darkened the tablecloth. The scraping of a moving chair echoed dimly, the embrace of home surrounding you in a split second, bones giving in to their dread and disappointment.

“How can you say that?” you’d wailed quietly, fists beating harmlessly at his biceps as he held you.

“I ache,” he’d whispered, confession numb in the gap between your sleeve and his heart, “I ache and I ponder and I fall apart knowing I have to somehow present myself whole.”

His heart pinned to your soul, promised to only you.

“Let us ache together,” as you’d clung tighter Let us hold the shards of our innocence so delicately, undeniably, sharply.

Knowing about Shinjuro, however, is not the same as meeting the man — a realization you expected intellectually, but couldn’t fully prepare for emotionally, because: how does one brace themselves against a gradual lifetime of grief and regret? How does one shed their layers of trained panic, terror, and anticipation? How does one approach the deep, infinite smears of I miss you and You should’ve been there for me for us and I hate you even though all I want is to be able to love you pressed into the crevices of your heart?

“I’m glad to finally meet you,” your pleasantry sticks to your tongue, hand visibly wavering as Shinjuro’s scent envelops you.

Shinjuro’s sick your gut screams, thrashing frantically—trapped—despite your seemingly calm—frozen—exterior. Like mom, exactly like mom, sick sicksick sicksicksick Shinjuro’s distant, unreadable pupils reflecting a nauseating scene. Identical to the glint in your MomMomMomMomMom’s fractured stare.

“Father,” firm palm nestling into your spine, tugging, coaxing, reminding you, “This is my partner, [y/n],” swiftly guiding you off the front porch, “Please pardon our rudeness,” away from the lingering grip of Shinjuro’s addiction.

“We can tell him I’m feeling poorly,” Kyojuro says immediately, tone hushed, attention darting from your clenched jaw to your uneven inhalations, “My father reeks,” chuckling shakily, “I under-”

“I want to do this,” you mumble, “I want to meet Shinjuro,” flexing your fingers, testing their fragility, “And Senjuro! Where is Senjuro?”

“Probably preparing snacks,” he smiles easily at the mention of Senjuro, Shinjuro momentarily forgotten, “He enjoys maintaining the house,” brow furrowing almost indecipherably Staying out of father’s way.

“If Shinjuro is too much,” affection—You are everything, my everything—hardening his resolve, “Then we can leave,” tapping your scrunched nose, “Then I want to leave.”

“I don’t-” you shudder, flashes of disjointed yelling and throwing and shattering interrupting your tunneling sight, “I don’t want Shinjuro to blame you.”

“Wait,” he cups your cheek, briefly, decidedly, “For me?”

You wait, surreal stillness rooting you in place. You wait, watching as his feet walk the hundred miles from home is where the heart is to home is no longer here. You wait, hyper focused, entirely ignoring, the exchange of impatient utterances — of dismissal and betrayal. You wait, wait for his feet to return to you. To return home.

“Ready?” Kyojuro nudges your shoulder before gesturing toward your car, his brave grin prying at your solemn expression, “We can visit another time.”

We can try again.

“Are you sure?” you lift your hand tentatively, vaguely.

If you want me to, then I can do this you think, determination grinding at the stone in your stomach I can face Shinjuro.

His hand catches yours, large and encompassing, tender and steadfast, “I am sure.”

I could not, would not, will not, ask that of you.

Neither of you spare Shinjuro a second glance, melting into the frayed softness of each other.

Why is it always “sskk angst”. Why can't it be “Beast sskk have moved together to a little apartment near the agency and every morning Atsushi prepares coffee with three sugar cubes for himself and houjicha tea with four sugar cubes for Akutagawa and he's slowly healing from all the trauma and pain thanks to a new routine they created together made of domestic actions and feelings of safeness” uh.

Guys can I see the emojis and the colors that you associate with your favs or your ships? And if possible the reason for that choice?

Like for me, the emoji I have for HouTata is 🍵🔥 because Ishida Sui once draw Houji drinking houjicha - a green tea that was roasted in a porcelain pot over charcoal so it makes so much sense for me

And the colors I have for them are 🤍❤ (Tatara) x 🖤💙 (Houji) based on their trump card

Houjicha latte recipe for those who need a comfort drink

Hello all I thought I'd share one of my absolute favorite drinks ever~ For those who don't know, houjicha is a Japanese green tea that's been roasted, so it has a lovely toasty/nutty flavor. It's also super low in caffeine so it's fine for bitches like yours truly who can't tolerate it

(ignore the fucked up window, the apartment is rlly old and I'm not allowed to paint anything rip)

Houjicha (1, 2, 3) 1 Tbsp (hell maybe even 2, you can't really overdo it)

1 1/2-2 cups water (or just measure however much you want in your cup/s)

1-2 tsp brown sugar

1/4 milk or heavy cream; I use lactose-free milk and it works fine

1 tsp vanilla

Boil the water, turn heat down to low and chuck the houjicha in there, letting it simmer for about 5 mins Once steeped, strain and mix in the brown sugar Whisk together the milk/heavy cream with the vanilla and then pour that into the houjicha

BOOM you have possibly THE most comforting drink in the entirety of ever
